This card (which seems to be a 4306 rev 3 like yours), works for me:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Melco Inc Unknown device [1154:0324]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        Memory at 5c000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

I'm currently associated via WPA2 to an AP.


Inserting the card:

> How do I make it use the b43legacy

This is for a different card / firmware. Please refer to
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 for more
information. There's a section there "bcm43xx, b43legacy, b43,
softmac,... the full story". b43legacy won't solve your problem.

Then it's a SuSE-Problem and you should ask your vendor.

However, you wrote "I compiled latest code" without specifing
what "latest" is. I'm using almost-latest-code (tm), e.g. I used
for my test wireless-testing, git describe
"v2.6.26-rc9-14207-ga520bdb".
